I have probably made it clear now how I feel about Fallout 3. It's firmly seated at the number one position in my all time games.
It takes a lot for me to say that about any game tbh. More so because I had no idea what it was when it came out. I had never played either of the originals (ignoring the poo one) and didn't even get it near release day. IIRC some one kept going on about it in the December of 2008 and just to shut them up and humour them I downloaded it illegitimately.
It took a while for me to 'get' it because I had never played anything quite like it before (I am not a fan of RPG ever so this was quite a pleasant surprise).
I soon learned that with a game like this you shouldn't skip the cut scenes and dialogue. It cost me the use of VATS and the beginning was immensely frustrating. However, once you get to grips with it it all comes together like that super duper threesome with the two most beautiful women you have ever seen.
I went on to buy the collector's edition in the lunch box AND all of the DLC. I don't like Zeta I thought it was utter crap but other than that they are the most worthy purchases I have made in gaming ever.
Since then I have played through the game four times. Once as a clueless chuffwit, once as an evil woman (black widow perk FTW), once as a kind woman and then as a kind male. I have lived in Megaton, Tenpenny and wherever I could find a bed and a storage locker (nice appartment in downtown DC if you look hard enough
)
I am now on my fifth playthrough. Each time I get better and each time I manage it faster.
So, moving on then. Fallout : New Vegas. This has to be my most anticipated release ever .
Speaking to many Fallout 3 fans it's clear that Obsidian just need to give us more of the same only different. And that is exactly what they have on the agenda. I shall update this thread with any news and info I find (Facebook fan, Bethesda newsletter and so on).
What's super cool is that I unknowingly (at the time) visited Bethesda Point Lookout and Dott's Diner. They are all in Maryland USA where I lived for a short time with a friend of mine. Obviously Bethesda is where they got their namesake from and it resides about 20 miles south of DC. So they're obviously natives. Point Lookout is in the Chesapeake area. A beautiful and sprawling national park. Dott's Diner is close by
As you can see I am obsessed with the game and will no doubt be glued to any sequels.
A few days ago I got my friend (the one in MD USA) to pre order this for me and it will be making its way over on a 2 day Fedex in October. I have repeatedly tried to find it for pre order here in the UK but even Bethesda are not answering my calls. However I do remember what the PC version cost here on release and it was north of £130. Sod that.
Mine for $69.99.
And here is the latest from the booth at E3.
